Does Sulfa/trimo Treat Epididymitis?

HI, i am a male 35, 160 lbs and healthy.
I have been diagnosed with epididymitis
due to a bacteria infection. Taking sulfa/trimo
antibiotics for 2 weeks had to go off cipro because of bad side effects. Should the sulfa/trimo antibiotics cure this? If not what is the next step?
thanks. Brandon
